Help with VST synth preset- Sledgehammer

[progmr]

Good morning:

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to the sounds used for Garbrial's Sledgehammer besides the flute. I purchased Dimension Pro w/Digital Sound Factory Mo'Phatt, Planet Earth, Proteus (I think this is what he used), etc. There are 2 key elements, one is defiantly a keyboard the other is a brass section. I am hoping someone knows what presets these are and save me the time hunting through the libraries. I may use my windsynth (w/XV-5050) for the brass unless something better exists in Dimension.

In case you don't remember the tune:

Thanks a lot!

It's real brass, so you'll need really good samples to get it as good as that, and good arranging skills. Lots of Hammond B3 on this track. There is a good bit of synth too, but it's mainly the Hammond and the brass. If you can play stick bass like Tony Levin and drums like Manu Katché, then you're set.

Thanks, that is a great start. Being newbie keyboard player makes it difficult to discern what sound belongs what particular model.

There's also a Yamaha CP70 piano, probably through a chorus like a CE2, played at a low level throughout the track. Synth is probably good ole Prophet 5. The shakuhachi sample is supposedly the same Emulator II sound that turned up on a zillion tracks at the time ie Tangerine Dream's Legend soundtrack.

O ya, that's vamping in the verses I think.
